Opportunity

The dictionary defines opportunity as: possibility due to a favorable combination of circumstances". What it doesn't tell you is where the circumstances are.

Everyone is talking about Susan Boyle, the Britain's Got Talent finalist. She has had her beautiful voice her entire life, and finally, given the opportunity, she has achieved acknowledgment, even fame, for her talent.

What unrecognized talents do any of us have? Will opportunity knock or do we need to make our own opportunity? Will we recognize it when presented, or only after it has passed? Opportunity is "lost" and "found", "given" and "earned".

When yours comes, will you know it?
